  1. @nickdrawthing if you skip on systems without settings you would miss out on amazing systems like maybe even cairn? But of course if you already found your favorite system you don't need any more pure systems, I totally agree.

  2. I've been trying to wrap my head around #Whitehack. The character creation is so free-form that I'm having trouble visualizing it. I like this article about it though...

  3. @mhd The level of detail in colitis and places sets Earthdawn apart from D&D, but fundamentally it's a game of larger than life heroes making the world better by fighting. So really it should work fine with your favourite edition of D&D or your favourite D&D alternative.

    I'm thinking #13thAge or #whitehack .

  4. @takeonrules

    You said
    "Then bust out #DCC #blackSwordHack #blackHack #OSE #whiteHack #intoTheOdd or some such thing."

    This is called a "bait and switch".

    Please do not assume ignorance in this conversation. You're allowed (encouraged!) to like different things but I'm also allowed to like different things. OK?

  5. The printed version (Lulu's) Christian Mehrstam's WHITEHACK fourth edition has arrived! (@[email protected])
    Time to find a place away from the house to read it on peace. I'm going to study it like a university grade textbook. 🤓

  6. Eager to make up for their sins, the party set the rest of the captains crew up with a nice pension, split the take evenly with the tribe of Reed Warriors and charged them with keeping watch over the entrance, after plugging it with stone to mud bombs and rubble.

    The two remaining PCs got some nice epilogues - highlights included using the tear of time to undo a henchmans death and guiding the tox-men home to their plane. 3/3 #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory #WhiteHack

  7. Later, they found that once you crossed the threshold of murder and human sacrifice, it's easier to justify the next one. Unfortunately, 🐌 Zarathustra's crew didn't want to be sacrificed like their captain. Three more sailors died in the struggle. But in the end, most of the observatorys wondrous treasures were salvaged. 2/3 #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory #WhiteHack

  8. In the final episode of our #DeepCarbonObservatory campaign, the descent into darkness continues, but only figuratively. After marveling at the wonders of the Kyriarchs royal suites, the party managed to avoid tragedy after lying about their role in Captain Zarathustras death to lovable rascal Wit Tamdoun, who picked up the Kyriarchs Sceptre - which compels you to destroy liars. 1/3 #DCO #WhiteHack

  9. Instead of today's #dungeon23...
    My character facing off against a wyvern in the moors.
    We had to put two of them down to retrieve lost artifacts. 14 HD dealt with by two retainers, a level 4 strong and a level 1 wise.

    Almost died to crocodiles while fishing on our way back to town too... 😃

    Good session! Love #whitehack system and #nsr play style!

  10. Guess which slot I chose for my Strong #whitehack character on level 4.

    #Whitehack3E

  11. finally got around to installing the #DriveThruRPG downloader and grabbing a copy of everything I've ever bought, just in case. #Whitehack have already pulled everything and I don't want to lose access to anything I've already paid for!

  12. @Smcc @lumpley

    I'll just yeet them all?

    1. 636 (a Latvian network of shops which was ahead of its time)
    2. #OSRQ / #NSRQ
    3. Probably, Drizzt, but very close to "none".
    4. D&D 3.5 (2003)
    5. Must be #3.5e, but #Whitehack is getting close to overtaking it thanks to regular play.
    6. #LtGarlic, my current OSRQ character. 3d6 down the line generation forced me to play something I didn't want, and I loved being forced to explore them.
    7. #OSE and #LabyrinthLord.
    8. Loved 3.5e for non-cheesy art. I love 5e art as well, but not the Monster Manual. I think, 3.5e overall.
    9. Anything by Luka. Let's say, #Longwinter, could just as well be #UVG.
    10. No
    11. I am now!
    12. Of course.
    13. Nope.
    14. Probably, any giant stag beetle summoning tool from 3.5e. It felt degenerate. I don't know, I don't care for items too much.
    15. Currently, I'm a friend with a kobold, who comes to adventures with us. He's cool, but he grabs the loot.
    16. I don't collect anything, no. But I buy everything @bradkerr publishes to run it.
    17. My own #IcyNSR system.
    18. Probably a nazi mage from a fictional organisation with a civil-service front called "the directory of the souls".
    19. No idea what it means.
    20. Mom's friend's son who was my childhood friend got the D&D 3.0 starter kit in 2002. There was no coming back.

  13. :ablobcatbongo: I’ve kicked off on Mastodon cause bird app is cursed now. My profile is for chatting dungeon games primarily.
    But in case ur interested, a bit about me:
    - He/Him
    - Sydney, Australia
    - Married with a two year old
    - :heart_rainbow:
    - Children’s theatre producer
    - French clown school dropout (literally)
    - TTRPGs #DnD #5e #ose #theonering #whitehack #wanderhome
    - Forever GM by choice
    - Ex-vangelical

  14. This week, the players continued their exploration of the Observatory. Met some nice but haughty salt dryads. Their opium addled companion, the cursed wizard Von der Linth, got eaten by a giant. They sought protection from the dryads in exchange for a promise to find a stolen heart, and were granted a night of rest. On their way up they were followed by the giant, and the Shadowdancer fell during their fighting retreat. #DCO, #DeepCarbonObservatory, #sessionReport #whitehack

  15. @Yora The rest is sort of inherited from OSR:

    1. Cunning over head-on
    2. Player skill applies to situations, not combinations of character's abilities
    3. Weird over standard
    4. Environment over personality
    5. Real danger over pretend-danger
    6. Simulation over collective narration

    But the two points I mentioned in the previous toot make it clear if a system in front of you is #NuSR. #Whitehack is, for example.

  16. … und #Whitehack spiele ich ja auch noch! Ich musste ja eins vergessen. Mindestens.
